I like it.
It would be hilarious too, like pop idol. We could generate good cash, publicity, unearth some talent. Most importantly we could have a dam good laugh at the trials when loads of overweight dreamers (like myself) turn up with glory in their eyes!
Get GH & DS to put them through their paces. Get a few 1st teamers involved at the later stages. Make a bit of a DVD of it with interviews with GH, DS, players and trial victims. I'll pre-order a copy now.
We could even test their nerve by making them do penalties with the infamous Thorley led 'Teasing Squad' shouting obscenities at them from the stands.
The words: crack, market, snide, deal and mum come to mind!
This one's got to be a winner, i know a few lads who play at various levels who'd love to give it a shot for a fair price!
